Make this paleo Nutella Fudge Bars for a decadent and healthy treat! They taste exactly like nutella and are a cross between fudge and brownies!

These fudge bars were originally intended to be just bars, but then they came out dense and “fudge-like.” Now I am not complaining because they came out better than I thought they would be. These were a hit with my family, they were gone within a matter of seconds!

I was going to call these “Chocolate Hazelnut Bars,” but they really taste like Nutella. These are combination between a bar, brownie and fudge, pretty unintentionally amazing. Now if you don’t understand what I mean, make these and take a bite, then you will understand!

You know that you can’t live survive the day without them so they are obviously super important. You see, if I didn’t have at least 3 snacks per day, I would probably have a hissy fit because, hanger is reallllll. Snacks are life savers……if you remember to pack them!

The combo of banana and nutella is TO DIE FOR! Especially when you add in chocolate chunks AND banana chips on top of it. You would never guess that these granola bars are healthy!
